Niagara — Alec Soth, 2021 (2nd printing)

A staged cathedral of longing and fallout. Made over two years on both sides of the Falls with an 8×10 camera, this work shifts the spectacle from water to wounded intimacy. Honeymoon suites, pawned wedding rings, motel beds and handwritten confessions construct a portrait of modern love at its most exposed. Interspersed letters—crushes, affairs, despair—puncture the romance. Published by MACK Books, the second printing sustains one of the sharpest meditations on American desire after Sleeping by the Mississippi.
